Podcasts about Bain

There's no shortage of predictions about what AI means for the consulting industry. Ron Kermisch, Bain's global head of talent acquisition, brings 30+ years of perspective to a more grounded take: how AI is actually reshaping the way Bain hires, what types of talent are we looking for, and what it means for candidates.

We are living through a fundamental shift in how businesses operate, compete, and create value. The Pirate Street Journal, hosted by Christopher, Eddie, and Bri, breaks down three major business stories through the category design lens, revealing a common thread that most mainstream business coverage misses entirely. That thread is AI data, and how the companies and individuals who understand it best are quietly rewriting the rules of entire industries. From energy infrastructure to ice cream shops to management consulting, the signal is clear and growing louder. This is just one of the topics that Pirates Christopher Lochhead, Eddie Yoon and Bri Clark discuss on this episode of Pirate Street Journal. Each week, the Category Pirates pick three headlines worth paying attention to and break down the category underneath. You're listening to Christopher Lochhead: Follow Your Different. We are the real dialogue podcast for people with a different mind. So get your mind in a different place, and hey ho, let's go.   Portable Power and the AI Energy Race China now controls 90% of the world’s battery storage cells, and the top ten storage cell manufacturers on Earth are all Chinese. The easy read on this is that the centralized, top-down model has already won. But the more interesting story is happening on the other side of the equation, where pioneers are refusing to wait for governments to build grids and are instead making power portable, distributed, and locally owned. Elon Musk quietly acquired a mobile power company capable of deploying a functional power plant in 30 days and driving it wherever demand exists. Tesla is simultaneously selling Mega Packs to cities experiencing brownouts while offering Powerwalls to individual homeowners. The insight here is that AI data is driving the need for entirely new power infrastructure, and the winners will not necessarily be the nations with the biggest grids. They will be the builders who understand that decentralized, distributed power networks can outmaneuver any centralized system when speed and flexibility matter most. Eddie raises the concept of a “Mega Pod,” a combination of batteries and GPUs in a scalable unit that could allow businesses, farms, and institutions with unused land to generate power, offset costs, and participate in a distributed data center economy. This is AI data infrastructure being rebuilt from the bottom up, and the annuity potential mirrors what Alaskan citizens receive from oil revenues every year.   Niche Down AI Data and the Rise of the Small Company Ben Affleck sold a stealth AI startup called Inner Positive to Netflix for $587 million. The company trained small models on individual film footage, replicating a director’s lighting style and visual language to accelerate post-production. An ice cream shop in downtown Los Angeles used prediction markets to hedge against cold weather, covering nearly half its monthly rent. A seven-person software company hit $10 million in revenue doing the work that once required 50 employees. These three stories appear unrelated on the surface, but they share a single strategic insight. Each one identified a narrow, specific type of AI data that nobody else was paying attention to and built an economic advantage around it. The Ben Affleck startup did not steal from other artists. It used a creator’s own footage as training data, producing tools that serve the creator rather than extract from them. The ice cream shop owner recognized that temperature data was weakness data for his business and converted it into a revenue stream through smart financial instruments. What AI is doing for smaller operators and independent entrepreneurs is lowering the barriers to prosecuting what Christopher Lochhead calls the magic triangle, building a legendary company, product, and category simultaneously. The surplus economics of AI are not accruing only to OpenAI, Anthropic, or the Mag Seven. They are flowing toward anyone willing to identify the weird data specific to their own situation and build something original with it.   Consulting and the Death of the Billable Hour McKinsey now ties 25% of its global fees to outcomes rather than hours. Bain reports that 30% of its business is AI and tech enabled, with ambitions to reach 50%. BCG expects AI work to jump from roughly 20% of revenue to 40% within a year. These are not small firms experimenting at the margins. These are the most conservative, hour-worshipping institutions in the professional services world, and they are cracking under the pressure of a new reality driven by AI data and what it makes possible. The billable hour was always a proxy for value, not a measure of it. What consulting firms are beginning to acknowledge is that AI data and the tools built around it can compress the time required for entry-level analytical work dramatically, which means the old pricing model no longer reflects what clients are actually buying. The shift from time-based to outcome-based compensation is not unique to consulting. It is the direction that professional compensation has been moving across all sectors for decades, from hourly wages to salaries to bonuses to equity. Eddie frames this shift clearly. People who are naturally oriented toward outcomes and who understand how to use AI data to drive measurable results are going to be rewarded more generously than ever before. Those who have relied on time as their unit of exchange, without a clear connection to the value they produce, are entering genuinely uncertain territory. The consultants are the last ones you would expect to change. The fact that they already are should function as a signal flare for every professional in every industry paying attention.

Episode 145 – PVPs for Cats   Cats can be extremely fearful at the Veterinary Clinic and being able to administer medications such as gabapentin before vet visits has been absolutely game-changing for feline practice in the last 10 years or so.   Have a listen as I talk you through PVP options other than gabapentin, what doses I commonly use, and which situations I might use them in. I also talk about a very exciting presentation I listened to from the Veterinary Behaviour Symposium in Seattle this June, on the use of Sileoâ (dexmedetomidine OTM gel) in cats.   Here are the papers I reference in this episode: Van Haaften, K.A., Forsythe, L.R.E., Stelow, E.A. and Bain, M.J., 2017.

Only a few episodes left before we get to talking about real football as the Miami Hurricanes start fall camp on 9/4/2026. We start this show with the reason why Malachi Toney wasn't on the ballot for ACC Preseason Player of the Year. Then, we move on to Bryce Fitzgerald moving positions, which seems to bother Canes fans but doesn't bother us. Some are saying this defense could not possibly be as good as last year's squad with Bain and Messidor and Scott gone, but Cam explains that the sum of the parts that are there should make you feel confident about Coach Heatherman's bunch. In segment two we take shots at the all mighty SEC. Whether it's their belief that they could exist on their own, or their false sense of superiority, we have had enough with that conference. Also, we think there's too much hype surrounding CJ Carr and Arch Manning. This episode is packed! Don't forget to check out Cam and his staff's great work at StateOfTheU.com.

Entre juin et juillet 2026, plus de 140 personnes sont mortes noyées en France. Un bilan largement supérieur à celui de l'an dernier à la même période.  Cette hausse s'explique par les canicules qui s'enchaînent et qui poussent de plus en plus de gens à se baigner dans des zones non surveillées. Mais face à ce constat il existe un geste simple qui peut faire la différence, choisir la bonne couleur de son maillot de bain.  Comment la couleur du maillot de bain peut-elle vraiment aider ? Quelles couleurs faut-il privilégier quand on se baigne ? Quels sont les gestes à adopter en cas de noyade ? Écoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez".

Hour 4 wraps up with Joe Rose and the crew continuing their Dolphins discussion, breaking down past draft misses, and why this season represents a major opportunity for Miami's young players and rookies. The guys discuss the importance of getting the quarterback position right, using the Patriots' success with Drake Maye as an example, before examining Malik Willis' expectations and whether the Dolphins have enough offensive weapons around him. The conversation also includes fan frustration over Miami selecting Kadyn Proctor over Rueben Bain, the changing landscape of the newspaper business, and plenty of Dolphins history. Plus, Joe reacts to Tyreek Hill's comments about his recovery, praises the work he has done to get back on the field, and debates whether the star receiver will ever return to his previous form. The crew looks back at Hill's impact in Miami, compares him to other polarizing Dolphins stars like Ricky Williams and Brandon Marshall, and discusses their legacies on and off the field

In this episode, Lillian Erdahl, MD, FACS, is joined by Morgan Pettigrew, MD, from UT Southwestern. They discuss Dr Pettigrew's recent article, “Artificial Intelligence Simplification of English and Spanish Surgical Consent Forms: 1-Size Does Not Fit All,” which found that while ChatGPT-4.0 improved the readability of English surgical consent forms, it did not improve readability of Spanish forms. To address this disparity, the authors developed a custom-trained GPT that improved readability of English and Spanish consent forms.   Disclosure Information: All relevant conflicts have been mitigated and Drs Erdahl and Pettigrew, moderators, have no relevant financial conflicts to disclose.   To earn 0.25 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™ for this episode of the JACS Operative Word Podcast, click here to register for the course and complete the evaluation.

#141Josh sits down with Maddy Shannon, Head of Product Strategy at SpotOn, who has spent her career making independent restaurants more profitable. From a start at Bain, to the business team at The Alinea Group under Nick Kokonas, to the finances at SingleThread Farms in Healdsburg, to a Stanford MBA and now leading SpotOn's reporting, Profit AI, and analytics teams, Maddy sits at the rare intersection of hospitality and product. The conversation keeps circling one idea: great hospitality and great product design solve the same problem. Both anticipate what someone needs before they ask, and both disappear when they work. She calls it the invisibility problem, and it reframes everything from how a point of sale should feel to why diners undervalue what a restaurant gives them.The two dig into what a restaurant meal is really worth, and why pricing a plate off the cost of the prawns misses the wine glass that gets refilled and the person clearing your crumbs. Maddy floats David Nayfeld's idea of billing a meal the way a plumber does, materials, labor, total, so guests see what they are paying for. From there it turns to leadership, where she sets Nick Kokonas's clarity of vision against Kyle Connaughton's prove me right approach at SingleThread, and Josh on unlearning twenty years of knowing every station when he moved into tech. On AI, they land on the line that anchors the back half: data is plentiful, attention is scarce. Both agree the real unlock is not another dashboard but software that tells an operator what to do, the way a doctor diagnoses rather than asking where it hurts. It closes on mastery, the donabe rice pot Maddy treasures, and the tension that restaurant economics rarely leave a chef room to master one thing. Her parting advice: next time you sit down to eat, take a beat, look around, and do not look at the prices so closely.Links and resources

Ninety-eight percent of patients say feedback is easy to give. Half of them ever see anything come of it. Chris and Reed spend this episode on the half that goes quiet. The prompt came from the Alchemer 2026 Healthcare Experience Report, a vendor study Reed flagged in the TPS report. Its numbers do the setup work. Patients can speak, and about half watch nothing come back. The most useful finding is the one about the people who never responded at all. Roughly half of them said nobody asked. Only about ten percent said they figured it would not matter. The industry has been building campaigns to re-engage patients it never invited. Chris and Reed then push past the vendor data into the instrument the whole industry runs on. HCAHPS launched in 2006 as a standardized public accountability measure, and it does that job. It is also a payment mechanism. A quarter of a hospital's value-based purchasing score comes from it, and CMS withholds two percent of base operating DRG payments into the pool it feeds. When the score moves money, the organization manages the score. Saving one upset patient earns nothing on that scoreboard. Reed draws the line between a rating and a review, then finds the hole underneath both. A system can act on feedback, fix the process for the next patient, and the person who raised it never learns a thing. Healthcare is not built to be visible about its own quality improvement. He also names the unglamorous version of the problem, the intake screen where somebody keys in a fake phone number to advance to the next field, which quietly guarantees nobody can ever reach that patient again. In this episode, Chris and Reed cover: Why the silence after a bad experience is an invitation problem, not an apathy problem The 22-point gap between patients who feel acknowledged and patients who see action How a survey tied to reimbursement ends up managing a score instead of a relationship What Schwab and Apple settled fifteen years ago that healthcare still argues about Why a real-time feedback tool on a short-staffed unit can make things worse Feedback as an early safety signal, and why marketing usually owns the platform it arrives on Acknowledgment is not action. If the only thing that ever comes back to a patient is thanks for your feedback, you closed the ticket and left the loop open.

For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries. This week's first MBA admissions candidate is from South America and has a 332 GRE score. They appear to have strong family-business experience. We hope there is clarity around their post-MBA goals. This week's second MBA applicant is from India and is a chemical engineer. They have a 665 GMAT score. We wonder if there is an advantage to retaking the test. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

He also mentions his eight years of experience as a case coach and the usefulness of the app for students. He discusses the target audience of the app, which includes consulting candidates and those looking to improve their consulting thinking. Micro-Casing - Your Case Partner Reimagined Shankar explains the homepage of the app, where users can log in through Google or Apple.  Quick start guide The app is designed as a decision-making tool with a multi-choice game-like interface to mimic case interviews.  Categories Users can choose from various categories like market entry, growth strategy, profitability, market size, or M&A.  Avoiding AI Hallucinations Shankar explains the gameplay, where users can pick a category, race the clock, and solve timed cases with two attempts. The app includes a feature where incorrect answers lead to rabbit holes, similar to real-life case interviews. The scoring system involves penalties for viewing hints and entering rabbit holes. Shankar highlights the app's manual case creation process to avoid AI hallucinations, ensuring the cases are accurate. Mock Case Interviews Demonstration The app's growth strategy category is described, showing the available cases and their status (completed or not started). Coaches Shankar explains the optional feature of selecting a sidekick or coach, which provides tips during the case.  Growth Dilemma They start a case called "ShopSphere's Growth Dilemma," where a case prompt is read and  the process of solving the problem begins.  Case Profitability The Summary Page Shankar explains the summary page, which shows the case details, difficulty, pass score, and performance metrics.  Case results and performance review The summary page includes a growth category readiness score and an overall readiness score, indicating progress and areas for improvement. He explores the view of all hints feature, which provides detailed feedback on each question. The Quality Control System Shankar discusses the process of creating and validating cases, involving AI-driven reviews and manual checks by experienced case coaches. The app currently has over 60 cases across various categories, ensuring rigorous quality control. Shankar mentions the potential for users to disagree with answers, which will be tracked for future improvements. The app aims to provide a comprehensive and accurate case preparation experience. The Leaderboard Feature Will and Shankar discuss the leaderboard feature, which allows users to compare their progress with others. The leaderboard is based on overall category readiness and overall readiness scores, calculated using various metrics. Shankar explains the option for colleges and consulting clubs to create their own leaderboards and case competitions within the app. The app supports private quizzing clubs, allowing organizations to upload and co-create cases for exclusive use. Shankar shares his experience as a case coach, starting from word-of-mouth referrals and eventually joining platforms to offer his services.

Personally, and professionally, we face both challenges and opportunities that few others can relate to. Though many understand the rewards of company leadership (things like compensation, decision making authority, and independence) few understand the sometimes-arduous journey that's required to both get there, and to stay there. This is why it can feel genuinely lonely at the top: In spite of their best efforts, our spouses, direct reports, and friends simply don't understand what it's really like. More accurately, they can't be expected to.The point of today's episode is to give the uninitiated a peak behind the curtains, and to provide but one example of what leadership really looks like at the ground level. My guest today, Rishi Sahel, is a great example of a CEO who has withstood more than his share of punches to the gut: As you'll hear in our discussion today, these punches included (but were not limited to) an acquisition of a manufacturing company in the middle of Covid when lockdown orders were in full effect, a post-covid supply chain crisis, Post-covid runaway inflation, a Lost warehouse, an attempt to buy their primary manufacturing facility from out underneath them, wire fraud, tariffs impacting a global supply chain and global customer base, and one unforgettable presentation to members of a local city council – all of which is about a million miles away from the comfortable confines of Bain, where Rishi spent many years prior to pursuing his dream of acquiring a small business. As you'll hear, despite all of these challenges, the company that he has built has enjoyed incredible growth and success. But hopefully better understanding the details of his journey will give you pause the next time you're tempted to get too enamoured with what seems to be an unambiguously positive headline. In presenting Rishi's story to you, I don't at all mean to suggest that leadership is all downside and no upside. Quite the contrary, in fact. Instead, I'm providing you with this dose of reality only because I assume you're much more familiar with the upsides of entrepreneurship and leadership, and much less familiar with the price that you're likely to have to pay in order to receive those benefits.

Emily Matthews, founder and principal of NOLA Marketing, partnered with the Ponemon Institute to ask CISOs directly how vendor marketing influences their buying decisions. The resulting State of Cybersecurity Marketing Influence Report 2026 holds some surprises: webinars beat CISO dinners, hands-on workshops build the peer references buyers trust most, and the first visitor to your website is increasingly a machine.In this episode:The top two CISO complaints about cyber marketing: it differs from product reality, and it's too high-level. Emily's fix starts with coffee-walk conversations with your engineers.Why 44% of security leaders ranked webinars the most valuable event format, while peer roundtables and CISO dinners came last.Why hands-on workshops should always be free: "You should be paying them, not them paying you."How workshops become "investments in peer influence," the #1 credibility source in the research.The shift to answer engines: Bain's 80% zero-click prediction and how to make your website a better "buffet for LLMs."Emily's case study method: start with your selling points, validate them in the customer's voice, and pack the piece with reusable quotes.Why buyers rely on analysts less than they used to, and what fills the gap for the ~3,700 vendors outside the magic quadrants.Her advice for marketers coming from outside tech: keep asking why.

Show Notes: The conversation opens with an overview of the consulting market, mentioning the impact of interest rates, private equity, and AI on the industry. Chad shares his background, including his career at Deloitte Consulting, Bain, and Charles Aris, and the focus of his strategy recruiting practice. Chad explains the shift in Charles Aris's business from Fortune 500 strategy placements to private equity and portfolio companies. He details the types of roles his team places, including general strategy, chief of staff, transformation, and integration roles. Four Phases in the Consulting Industry Chad highlights the growth of private equity and its impact on the consulting market, including the increase in demand for consulting services. Chad outlines the four phases the consulting market has gone through over the past 24 months: downturn, rebound, downturn, and growth. Chad explains the impact of higher interest rates and tariffs on the consulting market, leading to reduced investments and consulting services. AI Growth Phase Chad discusses the rebound in 2025 due to lower interest rates and private equity adapting to the new normal. He highlights the current growth phase driven by AI and the understaffing of consulting firms due to previous downsizing. Chad emphasizes the candidate-driven market and the increased demand for consulting services, particularly in AI and go-to-market initiatives. Private Equity Chad identifies private equity and services firms (white and blue collar) as the two primary industries with high demand for consulting services. Chad explains the growth of private equity and its focus on due diligence and value creation initiatives. Chad discusses the impact of AI on due diligence, including commercial, operational, and technology due diligence. He  highlights the demand for consulting services in white and blue collar services firms, driven by private equity investments.  Areas of High Demand Chad transitions to discussing functional areas with high demand, starting with AI. Chad identifies AI as the number one functional area with high demand, focusing on increasing productivity and refocusing employees on high-value interactions. Chad explains the two types of AI consultants: AI strategists and AI implementers, and their roles in AI enablement. Chad discusses the importance of AI in various consulting projects and the need for consultants to embrace AI. Chad highlights the demand for go-to-market consulting initiatives, including CRM redesign, sales process redesign, and AI-powered territory optimization. Chad emphasizes the importance of understanding AI from a go-to-market perspective and the increasing demand for AI expertise.

Maximizing Opportunities Chad provides tips for client development with private equity firms, recommending reaching out to portfolio operations teams and deal partners. Chad identifies supply chain optimization and manufacturing footprint optimization as areas with declining demand due to the shift towards growth initiatives. Chad emphasizes that while some areas may have softened, there is still demand in most specialties.

What if the biggest problem in marketing isn't your message, your targeting, or your budget? What if it's the map you're using?For more than a century, marketers have relied on funnels, customer journeys, and pipeline stages to explain how people buy.The problem?People don't move in straight lines.In this Sharp Cut, Marc and Vassilis unpack why buying behaviour looks far more like a messy search pattern than a carefully planned journey. Drawing on research from Ehrenberg-Bass, Google, WPP, Oxford, James Hankins, Gartner, Bain, and the LinkedIn B2B Institute, they explore why most consumer decisions are made before shopping begins and why so many B2B deals stall after the buying process has already started.Along the way, they tackle the real purpose of the funnel, the limits of customer journey mapping, the hidden role of buying committees, and why the pipeline may be better at reporting decisions than helping people make them.In this episode:Why the traditional funnel continues to surviveWhat the Consumer Decision Journey got right—and wrongThe surprising finding that 84% of purchases favor brands consumers already lean towardWhy "good enough" beats "best" more often than marketers realizeThe difference between consumer and B2B buying behaviorHow buying committees create friction inside organizationsWhy 40-60% of qualified B2B deals end in no decisionThe pipeline's real purposeWhy probability may be a better model than journeysThe funnel is a useful reporting tool. It just isn't a very good theory of human behaviour.Takeaways:Success in marketing is often misrepresented as a straight line.The consumer decision journey is more complex than traditional models suggest.Buyers often choose brands they are already leaning towards before shopping.The funnel oversimplifies the buying process, leading to ineffective strategies.Fear of making the wrong decision can paralyze B2B buyers.Satisficing is a common behavior where buyers settle for 'good enough'.Mental and physical availability are crucial for influencing buyer decisions.The traditional funnel model is outdated and needs to be rethought.Understanding buyer behavior requires acknowledging the chaos of the decision-making process.Marketers should focus on building frameworks based on real consumer behavior rather than idealized models.Chapters:Chapters00:00 - Introduction02:48 - The Complexity of the Consumer Decision Journey06:06 - The Limitations of Traditional Marketing Models08:49 - Understanding Buyer Behavior and Decision-Making11:59 - Rethinking the Marketing Funnel14:57 - The Role of Fear in B2B Buying Decisions17:53 - Building a Better Marketing Framework
